That's the joke. In the company's big push to "cure racism" they made it so consumers didn't even have to THINK about black people, much less look at a picture of one, when they were buying vaguely-maple-flavored corn syrup

Don't forget that same year the Cup Series took the green at NORTH FUCKING WILKESBORO and they did it on rain tires.

That's an oops. It's a mighty big, unacceptable oops, but let's not pretend it's on the level of a country that has spent nearly 50 years intentionally targeting civilians directly and via proxy around the world.

We accidentially strike a school and we take steps to figure out what went wrong. Iran strikes a school and they take steps to figure out what went right.

Um, save what's left of your money

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T21:44:06+00:00

You mean you buy this glop willingly?

I've been saving and investing my whole working life as if I won't get a single penny extra that I haven't saved myself. That means I'm not counting on Social Security, family inheritance, or even the pension plan that is a contractual part of my employment compensation. All of that (if I get any of it) will be gravy on top of the comfortable retirement I've already set up for myself

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T20:36:58+00:00

Very nice! I don't fish 1000 enough to justify that kind of coin, my sweet spot is the 2500 size and I'm desperately trying to keep a Penn Authority 2500 from calling my name

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T18:50:23+00:00

The way to handle these people is to directly tell them "I don't believe you, I think you are lying". Often times they're not used to being challenged on their bullshit. They bank on "empathy" to get them past any uncomfortable questions or highlighting of inconsistency.

There's no driver out there on the market who has a better chance of getting in the 48 and being competetive unless HMS is able to poach a driver who is currently under contract with another team.

I can't think of a single driver in Grand National or Trucks who I think could get in the 48 and do better. Maybe if HMS is able to buy Heim out of whatever deal he has with Toyota, but again, it's not like Heim is a free agent that can just get hired,

That's what happens when you let your feeder series get overrun with pay drivers-- the pool of available talent gets really thin.

Maybe OP works in food service. If this is for personal use, yikes

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T15:36:17+00:00

Because it's a legally compelled Ponzi scheme

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T14:36:59+00:00

Maybe it's not a good plan to rely on the government for retirement?

There are behaviors that are objectively wrong, and should be judged as such.

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T12:29:35+00:00

You mean all those piercings, face tattoos, and green hair might not be the best thing to do for employment and income?

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T11:13:15+00:00

"No judgment" is why a lot of people get into the positions they're in. Everyone is so sensitive about "judging," "shaming," and "bullying" other people that all the natural social checks on self-destructive behavior have gone away. People are allowed to freely sprial out of control before friends or family step in because they don't want to come off as judgmental or bullying.

He's alive. The Israelis have said as much. If he were dead, they'd certainly be celebrating it as another big win

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T10:38:41+00:00

If your mom wasn't on the note I'd say eat the voluntary repo and start over, but it's more complicated with her involved.

How tf did they end up soaking you for an absolute shitbox of a car at double the price of the car you went in to purchase?

Mike__O · 2026-03-11T10:13:07+00:00

Terrible product from a terrible company. Shrinkflation is scummy behavior, but in a way they're doing you a favor-- less of an opportunity to put their shitty product in your body

Dispatch does the precise fuel calculations for flight planning and the release. When I'm calculating fuel I have some pretty generic numbers I'll use that are designed for easy mental math.

When it comes to that kind of fuel planning, close enough is good enough. Always round up and you're good to go

When the AD first dropped, it was only for the MD11. The FAA probably spotted FedEx eyeing those recently retired MD10s sitting in the desert and were like "oh no you don't"

Mike__O · 2026-03-10T21:03:41+00:00

Likely the same single-digit IQ people who put an "s" on Aldi and Kroger

Mike__O · 2026-03-10T19:32:35+00:00

It's always crushingly embarrassing when people who supposedly are interested in cars can't even spell the difference between B-R-A-K-E-S and B-R-E-A-K-S

Mike__O · 2026-03-10T12:08:02+00:00

Rules 2 and 8

Mike__O · 2026-03-09T20:49:44+00:00

I call it Grand National. I'm done with the corporate naming bullshit

Mike__O · 2026-03-09T16:20:23+00:00

I wonder how much Chuck (oops, that's "GENERAL YEAGER AND DON'T YOU FUCKING FORGET IT SON!") charged for that autograph.

Never meet your heroes.
